Is this worthwhile? I have to admit I'm curious. The Vodka & Tonic is one of the most perfect things in existence and if you can improve upon it kudos to you sir.

YES. AMAZING. It's made with real quinine and organic agave instead of HFC and artificial flavors (NO HANGOVER). It's like getting drunk on a secret mountain stream of love. It's also a product of a small(ish) company in Brooklyn and the baby of one mans quest for the perfect vodka tonic. It is kinda pricey and has turned me into a vodka tonic snob but a worthwhile splurge if yr askin me.

I'm headed to Missoula, MT. for the next two weeks and can likely be reached anytime of day at a bar, possibly my favorite on the planet, called the Rhinoceros; fifty taps of North Western deliciousness.

i honestly had my laptop right up to my face just now to see if i could make out some of those taps...

when i was in columbus at xmas time, Palmer's on Indianola had a good selection as always, and I was happy to see Pace High stocking lots of good stuff again. if you're on the far north end, there's a place on Polaris Parkway a little east of 71, south side of the street, next to the BW-3, that had a good selection as well. oh, and Weilands on Indianola's was not bad.

I've been drinking a lot of the new (old) Schlitz beer (available at Weilands and Giant Beagle in Clintonville). I'm really digging it for a working-class American beer (although it's a bit pricey for that realm at $5.99 a six).

CincinnatiIn the mid-western USA, a Cincinnati is a 33%/66% concoction of 1/3 lemon-lime soda (i.e. Sprite or 7 Up) and 2/3 lager or pilsner beer.

which, going further, it turns out is really just a Shandy or Shandygaff.

That's where I had my first one, and it was awesome, and awesomely expensive.Though this label says 8.3% alcohol, the one's I bought from spread eagle were 10.3% alcohol, and they were decent. I still prefer the Dogfish 90.
